Effects of different commercial solutions in therapy of hypovolemia in dogs

Abstract

Hypovolemia is represented in the clinical pathology of the dog in a high percentage. It mostly presents an accompanying syndrome in many diseased conditions (vomiting, diarrhea, sequestration, burns, cold burns, ascites periocardiac efusions, and others), while they primarily occur following acule hemorrhagia. Having in mind its diverse etiology, hypovolemia, in addition to a lack of fluids, can also be characterized by various other deficiencies (of electrolytes, proteins, albumins, carbohydrates), which presents an important factor for evaluating the condition of the patient and prescribing the adequate therapy.

Na hipovolemiju relativno često nailazimo u kliničkoj patologiji pasa. Ona uglavnom predstavlja prateći simptom različitih bolesnih stanja (povraćanje prolivi, sekvestracije, opekotine, smrzotine, asci-tes, perikardijalne efuzije i slično), dok primamo nastaje nakon akutne hemoragije. S obzirom na raznoliku etiologiju, hipovolemija se osim nedostatka tečnosti može da karakteriše i različitim deficitima (elektroliti, proteini, albumini, ugljeni hidrati), što predstavlja bitan preduslov za procenu stanja pacijenta i propisivanje adekvatne terapije.
